<snip> "Gerald K. Hege pushed the macho, Southern lawman thing to extremes. He had the Davidson County jail painted pink with murals of teddy bears carrying buckets of tears to taunt the inmates. He got himself a nitrous-oxide-propelled hot rod, souped up by the late Dale Earnhardt's racing team, and showed off by taking his deputies on 172-mph thrill rides."

I pretty much know what you will say. He's still fighting hard to keep his job 8 months after being removed and costing the taxpayers big $.
